This is good news. Misinformation is cheap to produce and expensive to combat once it's out there. My opinion is that the only effective approach is to deplatform it entirely, as early in the process as possible.
- hunterb123 4y agoI think people can decide for themselves whether having arbiters of truth is "good news" or not. Personally this is just another step down the Orwellian slope, not really news as it's Twitter going about their usual agenda. Misinformation is a scary word though, can't have those gullible peasants falling for trickery, you know best for them!
- staticassertion 4y agoYeah, Orwell was definitely a big proponent of advertiser rights. Page one of 1984 is basically a damning indictment of how the Thought Police limit advertisers on social media, as I recall.
- dominotw 4y ago>Misinformation thats not what this is about.
- staticassertion 4y agoIt very obviously is. They're rejecting advertisers who project misinformation around climate change.
- VerminOctopus1 4y agoActually it seems like it’s explicitly about misinformation promoted by those with an interest in denying the realities of climate change.
